About AS218969

AS218969 is registered with the RIPE NCC and operated as a personal, non-commercial project. The network is IPv6-only and runs BIRD 2. All originated prefixes are covered by valid ROAs and registered in the RIPE IRR. Points of presence are linked by an internal WireGuard backbone, and the network's authoritative DNS runs on an anycast prefix.

BACKBONE // WireGuard · iBGP

Internal backbone

Every point of presence keeps a WireGuard tunnel to every other one and runs iBGP over it. The backbone carries management traffic, DNS zone transfers and return paths for anycast services; it does not carry transit.

03 ADDRESS SPACE

IPv6 // RIPE IRR

IPv6 address space originated by AS218969. All announced prefixes are RPKI-valid and registered in the RIPE IRR. The /40 is assigned to sites in /48 blocks and is not announced as an aggregate.

08 DN42

ISOLATED ROUTING DOMAIN

No routes are exchanged between DN42 and the public Internet.

Separate DN42 network

DN42 is a community-operated overlay network used for experimenting with routing technologies. SheepMC Networks operates a separate autonomous system on DN42.

DN42 peering

Sessions run BGP over WireGuard and can be set up at any DN42 site; routes are filtered against the DN42 ROA. Contact the NOC to exchange connection details.
